Star Wars Allegiance Class
I think that there are stats for only Imperial I and Victory class Star Destroyers on core books. Age of Rebellion has stats for both. I skimmed through the book, so I might have missed something.AoR comes with the stats for the Praetor II - Class Super Star Destroyer as well, so there is something that is in the same class as the Allegiance class, but a lot older.For the Procursator: We don't have that ship with stats as far as I know, but we have the Vindicator Class, a heavy cruiser star destroyer with a length of 600 meters and well the victory class with 900m. Nothing in the 1200m category so far I am afraid. I would simply take a class 2 and upscale it slightly; for most part that just means more guns, more hull and probably more tie fighter compartment.For most part the stats of the ship doesn't really matter hugely unless it's a part of a super engagement. My party had disabled a class 2 Star Destoryer before by boarding it and blowing up the bridge with a hyperdrive bomb.
The fleet battle itself against the Hutts and alliance enforcement (this strike force was tasked with bringing the Smugglers Moon directly under imperial control) was largely handled by mass combat rules, with the destruction of the bridge basically removing all the yellow dice from the imperial check to show that their moral had taken a huge hit.
Had specs on em somewhere, but they have sense been lost since I upgraded my comp awhile back so going from memory. Bout 2.2km long and IIRC around Endor. They seem to have been an answer to the lack of 'battleships' in the Imperial fleet (vs battleship/carrier hybrids) and (I think) they were also commandships.Edit-The empire seems to have been the ones who commisioned and used them, however it's entirely possible the NR got it's hands on a few of em or maybe even started buying the entire design from Kuat Drive Yards after they seized it. Of course its extreemly speculative if they actualy exist.
IIRC no hard stats or ship classifications have ever been published for this class of ship. The only sightings are from the Comic Books. WHich is all but ignore, simply because there are almost no guidelines in terms of artistic consistency. Some people simply by looking at distant ship silloutes claim totaly new classes.
Tector Class Star Destroyer
Hell I think if you look at Saxtons site, he has about 10-20 ISD shapped subclases he claims exists.which are almost simply the artist not drawing EVERY ship to the same accuracy level as you would get wiht one CGI model.Frag, if you take this type of analysis to its logical conclusion, then you should have listed dozens upon dozens of difference classes of Falcons, because its clear the various drawings are not consistent with each other half the time.Just my two cents IMO. And trying to detemine WHAT the ship does based on a comic drawing is futile. Of course its extreemly speculative if they actualy exist.

Click to expand.I agree up to a point. It was a bit weird for Dr.
Saxton to try to derive all those cruiser classes from the silhouettes. Still, one could surmise that the comics, while including a significant amount of artistic license, were indeed generically portraying a class of ship that does exist.IIRC, they show an ISD in DE, and it looks different enough from all the ASD depictions for the Allegiance to be considered a class of its own.Also, I think comic book artists try to put in as mush realism and scale accuracy when they make the more detailed panels. There are plenty of up-close shots of ASDs as well as that one monstrous 6.2+ km cruiser. Personally, I think that all those different cruiser class that Saxton put down are really just the same one as that 6.2km beast.

Only a small fraction of the Starfleet was ever committed towards hunting down the Alliance.As for crewing the ships, I think a WEG source says the Star Wars galaxy has 100 quadrillion sentient beings. Coruscant alone has a population of one trillion. Of course, that depends on whether the author of Inside the Worlds of AOTC meant British trillion or American trillion. British trillion IIRC is an American quadrillion. Click to expand.Personnaly I don't like such high numbers EITHER, but many sources do come together to show how this works.Simply look at the Death Star II. It was produced to the state we saw in ROTJ in a probable six months, high end a year or two.
THAT amount of materials, refined and manufactured into a massive space station is worth millions of ISD's ALONE. And the Second Death Star was largly produced by diverting the vast majority of the Imperial Navies construction resources into it.There is a good quote from Spector of the Past which sheds light on this:Han: 'There was never more then a small fraction of the Galaxy fighting against the Empire'.Lando: 'And never more then a small fraction of the empire fighting against us. I don't think we realised back then just how much of their energy was going to keeping all these little planetary vendettas and rivalries from blowing up in their faces.
Imperial Star Destroyer
Now that we're in that same situation; and in my opinion, we simply don't have the resources available to take on whatever Thrawn has planned.' In fact the Death Star project was SPECIFICALY designed FOR this problem. The Tarkin Doctrine was 'Rule through the FEAR of force, rather then THROUGH force'. That they could control hundreds of thousands of worlds through the public example of a select few. Because Tarkin said that even WITH the Empire rapidly expanding their fleets and armies, they were years and years away from a fleet that could possibly secure most of the Galaxy.Of course the question.I. have never gotten a good answer to is what the fuck HAPPENED to this massive fleet? The only answer is that warlordism as the Empire went partialy into civil war sucked it dry, but that simply sucks.
Hell the whole millions of ships problems sucks when you look at what Thrawn was able to do with 200 Clone Wars vintage Battleships. And the fact that as far back as 'Rogue Squadron' possessing those ships would give either the Alliance or Empire a clear edge.But that again is overulled by the simple FACT of just how massive the Death Star is and how fast the Empire was able to partialy build a second one.
